A couple of hints here (assuming like you say that you use a file for each project): - You can use #+FILETAGS: to set a file-global tag that will be inherited by the whole file, so that you do not need to put it in each * task level. - An alternative to using tags is to use #+CATEGORY: (or simply the name of the file) to set the overall category to the project name and it will appear to the left of all agenda entries. Having said this, being able to show all inherited tags would indeed be nice. Also, related to the recent questions of relatively slow speed when building agendas that include entries based on inheritance, perhaps precomputing and caching the inheritance relation might be of help. If someone has time to look into this it would be really great. Cheers --Manuel -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manuel Hermenegildo | Prof., C.S.
